Rupee flips back to monthly decline, lags Asian peers
The Indian rupee declined by about 1% in May, reversing course after gaining in the previous two months, influenced by factors such as continued uncertainty over U.S. trade policies , gains in its Asian peers and a conflict between India and Pakistan. The rupee closed at 85.5775 on Friday, capping a day of choppy trading with a mild decline.

Initially, a military conflict between India and Pakistan hurt the currency but it rebounded once a ceasefire was reached. Over the rest of the month, dollar demand from corporates and foreign banks weighed on the rupee, traders said. Dollar-buying intervention by Reserve Bank of India also put a lid on the sharp appreciation above the 84.60-84.80 zone, according to one of the traders. Live Events Meanwhile, the dollar was set to end the month little changed against major peers as mild relief on the softening of U.S. trade policies, typified by the pact with China, gave way to a legal back-and-forth on the legal validity of reciprocal tariffs. Asian currencies were mostly stronger on the month, led by the Korean won while the offshore Chinese yuan, a closely tracked peer of the rupee, rose nearly 1%. Barclays expects the rupee to underperform its peers going forward as the RBI focuses on replenishing FX reserves and is "unlikely to want to see a renewed richening of the INR," analysts at the firm said in a note earlier this week. India's foreign exchange reserves stood at $685.7 billion as of May 16, about $19 billion below their all-time high hit in September 2024. Traders now await the release of India's economic growth data for the January-March quarter and U.S. PCE inflation data due later in the day. Economists polled by Reuters expect India's GDP to have grown 6.7% year-on-year, up from 6.2% in the previous three months.

Bajaj Auto warns of EV disruption over China export hurdles
Bajaj Auto warned of a looming disruption in electric scooter production starting July if the ongoing restrictions on exports of rare earth magnets by China are not resolved swiftly. The company flagged a significant operational risk during its March quarter earnings call, with inventories of the critical component depleting and no clear timeline for resolution in sight. "The rare earth situation is a very difficult one," Bajaj Auto executive director Rakesh Sharma told reporters citing a "very onerous" approval process that includes certifications from Indian ministries, the Chinese embassy, and local Chinese provincial authorities. Although more than 30 applications have been submitted by the industry, no clearances have been received so far. Chinese authorities have indicated that the process could take 40-45 days, but Sharma said that the "loop has not closed", casting doubt on the viability of the system.

The company emphasised that there is no short-term substitute, as refining rare earth elements-despite deposits in India and elsewhere-requires substantial investment and technological expertise. Rare earth magnets are a key input in electric motors, and their limited supply could stall Bajaj Auto's electric vehicle ambitions just as it is scaling up its EV pipeline. China is the market leader with 80% of supplies concentrated in the region. The company acknowledged that this issue, coupled with geopolitical and currency-related headwinds, could constrain export and EV growth in the near term. Live Events Driven by sustained demand in the domestic market and a recovery in select export geographies, net profit at Bajaj Auto for the quarter ended March 31 rose 6% year-on-year to ₹2,049 crore from ₹1,936 crore in Q4FY24. Revenue from operations stood at ₹12,148 crore, up 6% from ₹11,485 crore in the year-ago period. The uptick was supported by a favourable product mix, robust domestic demand, and margin stability despite cost pressures. The March quarter revenue and net profit were above analysts' average expectation of ₹11,821 crore and ₹1,946 crore in that order. Total sales during the quarter grew 4% to over 11 lakh units, with motorcycles and three-wheelers continuing to show strong performance. EBITDA margins were steady, aided by premiumisation, particularly in the Pulsar and KTM ranges. For FY25, Bajaj Auto reported a standalone net profit of ₹8,151 crore, marking a 9% rise over ₹7,479 crore in the previous year. Adjusted for a one-time deferred tax provision of ₹211 crore, the profit stood at ₹8,363 crore. Full-year revenue grew 12% to ₹50,010 crore, as volumes crossed 46.5 lakh units. Export markets, especially in Latin America and parts of Asia, showed encouraging signs. The company's exports in 30 key countries grew by 31%, outpacing the industry's 26% growth, with record sales in models like Pulsar and Dominar. However, the outlook for Africa remains cautious due to economic fragility, said Sharma. Bajaj Auto ended the year with a cash flow from operations of ₹7,267 crore and declared a dividend of ₹210 per share. A ₹4,932 crore share buyback was also completed earlier in the year. Bajaj Auto's shares closed at ₹8,873.30 a piece, up 0.28% on the BSE.

Forget the viral slap: The story of how Emmanuel Macron first met his 25-year-older wife Brigitte is even more shocking
While social media buzzed over a viral video that appeared to show French President Emmanuel Macron being swatted or scolded by his wife Brigitte upon arrival in Vietnam, the online sleuthing unearthed something far more startling than a playful slap: the unconventional origin story of their relationship. And as it turns out, the real drama between the Macrons dates back decades—long before their political ascension and viral headlines. A Forbidden Bond Takes Root It was 1993 in the sleepy city of Amiens in northern France when 15-year-old Emmanuel Macron first met Brigitte Trogneux, his 39-year-old drama and French teacher. While Brigitte was helping young Macron master monologues, what unfolded between the teacher and her student would one day scandalize a nation—and captivate the world. Brigitte was married to banker André Auzière at the time and was a mother of three. Macron, meanwhile, was a precocious teenager with an intense passion for literature and performance. They met during drama rehearsals at La Providence , a private Catholic secondary school. By the time rumors of their bond began to circulate, Macron's parents were forced to confront a situation they could scarcely believe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Undo Parents in Shock: "We Didn't Say, 'How Wonderful!'" According to biographer Anne Fulda, who penned Emmanuel Macron: A Perfect Young Man , Macron's parents initially assumed their son was dating one of Brigitte's daughters. When they learned the truth—from a family friend, no less—it was, in the words of Macron's mother Françoise, 'unbelievable.' 'We just couldn't believe it. What is clear is that when Emmanuel met Brigitte, we couldn't just say, 'That's great,'' she told Fulda according to a report from The Independent . You Might Also Like: Did Brigitte Macron say the F-word before shoving French President Emmanuel Macron? His father, Jean-Michel Macron, was equally stunned: 'We certainly did not say, 'How wonderful!'' The Macrons pulled their son out of the school, hoping to cool the flames of a relationship that was already defying boundaries. Brigitte, when urged to wait until Macron turned 18, allegedly told his parents: 'I cannot promise you anything.' Letters, Long Distance, and an Unshakable Promise Despite being separated geographically—Macron was sent to Paris to study at the elite Lycée Henri-IV—the emotional connection remained. 'It all unfolded very slowly,' Brigitte recalled in a 2017 Elle France interview. 'We wrote to each other all the time.' Macron, unwavering in his pursuit, told Brigitte he would return and marry her. That vow became reality in 2007 when the couple tied the knot. He was 29. She was 54. Over time, their age gap—now 25 years—has become more of a punchline than a point of tension between them. 'It's a joke between us,' Brigitte once said. 'Anything anyone might say is just a big nothing.'

The couple's unique dynamic made headlines again recently when a clip from their visit to Hanoi seemed to show Brigitte giving her husband a slap on the back of the head. Lip readers called the exchange 'frosty,' but Macron laughed it off, calling it a 'joke' between them. Yet that fleeting moment reignited public curiosity into one of the most unusual love stories in modern politics. — ChristinaNewstv (@ChristinaNewstv) Their union, forged in controversy and tempered over time, has withstood political storms, public scrutiny , and now, even viral videos . But as Brigitte once said with a shrug, 'There are times in your life where you need to make crucial choices.' For the Macrons, it seems, that choice was made long before the world was watching.

The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions.
